Stability has been the name of the game along the New England Patriots offensive line for much of the season. However, last week’s 26-20 win over the Cincinnati Bengals put an end to it: the team lost its entire left side to injury, with tackle Will Campbell suffering a sprained MCL and guard Jared Wilson a high ankle sprain.

Campbell has since been placed on injured reserve and as a consequence will miss at least four games. Wilson, meanwhile, is considered week-to-week and, like his teammate, will not be able to suit up against the New York Giants this coming...

Poise has been a common word to describe Drake Maye through his second NFL season.

New York Giants Pro Bowl pass rusher Brian Burns agrees, but ahead of a Monday night matchup against Maye and the Patriots, Burns thinks the young quarterback can almost be “too poised” at times.

“He’s talented, talented arm. I’m not really too sure yet about how quick he is to process everything, but I do feel like he makes the right plays at the right time,” Burns told Giants reporters Tuesday. “He does seem a bit poised, maybe a little bit too poised in the...

After 12 weeks of football, the New England Patriots are close to their bye week. There is one hurdle left to clear: the New York Giants, who will visit them at Gillette Stadium on Monday night.

A lot has happened for both teams since they met in preseason in August. So, to find out more about the Patriots’ Week 13 opponent, we spoke with Ed Valentine of Pats Pulpit’s sister site Big Blue View, the SB Nation community for all things Giants.

Here is what he told us about the upcoming game and opponent.

The New England Patriots are hoping that they will get injured left tackle Will Campbell back in time for the NFL playoffs. Until his return, however, they are making sure to keep him busy.

As head coach Mike Vrabel explained earlier this week, he has a clear vision for the rookie while on injured reserve. First and foremost, it’s all about staying engaged.

“He comes into the meetings, stays engaged, works hard to get back and to recover quickly,” Vrabel said during a press conference on Wednesday.

“That’s all it can be. If you want to have a good, long...

The New England Patriots will likely look to improve their receiving corps during the offseason, and one way to do so is by bringing in a veteran player.

Patriots fans might want to keep an eye on Dallas Cowboys receiver George Pickens, who will become a free agent after this season. However, Phil Perry, a Patriots insider for NBC Sports Boston, believes Pickens might not be a viable option for New England.

“The Patriots aren’t loaded with receivers who strike fear into the hearts of defensive coordinators because they will torch man coverage on a regular basis when given the...

The Patriots will host the New York Giants on Monday Night Football, and it could be a good matchup for New England.

New York currently holds a 2-10 record, and one of the main reasons for its struggle to secure victories is its weak run defense.

On Thursday, ESPN’s Aaron Schatz pointed out that New York’s rush defense ranks second-worst through 12 games since 1978.

“This one is a throwback to my look at early-season trends after Week 4. At that point, the Giants had the third-worst run defense ever tracked through four games,” Schatz wrote. “They’ve been up and...

The Patriots will host the Giants on “Monday Night Football.” As New England is looking to secure its 10th consecutive win, it faces a challenge, especially with New York likely to welcome back one of its star players.

Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart passed through the concussion protocol on Thursday, making it likely that he will take the field against New England.

Dart missed the last two games due to a concussion he suffered in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears.

Despite the Giants’ 2-10 record, Dart has been a standout player. He has thrown for 1,417 yards and recorded...

The New England Patriots spent Thanksgiving away from the practice fields.

But based on Wednesday’s attendance, six members of the active roster would not have been available for Thursday’s New York Giants prep. Tight end C.J. Dippre, offensive linemen Morgan Moses and Jared Wilson, linebackers Harold Landry III and Jahlani Tavai, as well as core safety Brenden Schooler all projected as non-participants.

Here’s the first injury report ahead of Monday’s 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff at Gillette Stadium.

It’s Thanksgiving weekend in the NFL, and the New England Patriots will close out the festivities: they will host the New York Giants on Monday Night Football. Naturally, all of our attention is on that particular game.

It is not the only one worth keeping an eye on between Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday. In fact, 15 other games are being played in Week 13, with many of them having direct implications on the Patriots as well. So, here is who you should be rooting for in those particular contests.

**Green Bay Packers (7-3-1)...

It has been four years since the Philadelphia Eagles perfected the most unstoppable play in football, the “tush push.”

The play has become a hotly disputed topic among NFL teams and fans as it remains virtually unstoppable in short-yardage scenarios.

The New England Patriots have struggled mightily in such scenarios.

New England was held out of the end zone on two red zone trips last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. One of those trips included six plays inside of the one-yard line.

The Patriots are 20th in the league with just over half of their red zone drives ending in...

The rumors about Bill Belichick leaving North Carolina and returning to the NFL aren’t going to stop anytime soon. Even though the former New England Patriots head coach recently released a statement reaffirming his commitment to UNC and denying any interest in the NFL, crazier things have happened.

With new reports surfacing that multiple NFL teams are interested in pursuing Belichick for the 2026 season, the buzz is only growing louder.

But what does ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter have to say about all of the noise. Mostly that it’s just that: noise.

Schefter appeared as a guest on WEEI...

Tom Brady and Peyton Manning are both top five quarterbacks of all time. But what made each guy so unstoppable, and how were they different from one another? Perhaps one of the best people to ask is a Hall of Fame defensive player who went up against both Brady and Manning in their primes. That’s why it’s always enlightening to return to an interview with Baltimore Ravens legend Ray Lewis, who describes the differences between Brady and Manning better than anyone.

“(Brady) was slower,” Lewis said. “The game (for him) … it was chess. … You (had) to study Tom...
